In July, 2005, Tom and I took a vacation to Savannah, Georgia and Charleston,
South Carolina. It was a great time and here are some of the many pictures
I took.

Savannah, Georgia

Tom is getting ready to play the part of a tourist,
camera in hand....

A view of the Savannah River, and a riverboat, taken
from the river walk.

The Savannah River Walk.

Inside an old building on the river walk. Probably a
warehouse at one time, now quite the classy hotel.

The factor's walk. Cotton brokers used to walk along
here bidding on loads of cotton.

The Cotton Exchange. At one time, cotton was king in
Savannah.

Historic preservation laws in Savannah enforce the rule
that all historic buildings must be painted in the original colors. This
building, though, it across the street from the historic district. Sure
draws attention, though.

A historic building.

We saw a spectacular sunset from the river walk, looking
towards the port of Savannah.

About the same view as above, but with changing colors.
The sunset was spectacular.

A cafe in an old railroad car.

Tom and I had breakfast in that old railroad car, by the
railroad museum.

An old train locomotive.

Your locomotive engineer today: Leon!

Now it's Tom's turn to drive.

The roundhouse, looking from the other side of the
roundhouse.

Another view of the roundhouse.

The Andrew Lowe house. We toured this house. His
daughter founded the Girl Scouts and lived here many years.

Another old house in historic Savannah.

Charleston, South Carolina

Old slave quarters on the Magnolia plantation, oldest
plantation in Charleston.

Swamp.

This is the current home on the Magnolia Plantation.
More like a cottage that was expanded, built after the Union army burned
the old mansion during the civil war.

A view from the river.

An old house in Charleston.

The old jail. They used to hang people in the yard here.
The good ole days!

Another home in historic Charleston

We toured this home, but at the moment, it's name
escapes me. It was very neat, though.
